IJMTRODUCTORY MOTES. 



The town of Lee, Mass. , was formed from parts of Great Barrington 
and Washington, the Glass Works Grant, and part of Williams's Grant. 
It was incorporated Oct. 21, 1777, and the first town meeting was held 
Dec. 26, 1777. 

The number of inhabitants at the time of incorporation has been vari- 
ou.sly estimated from 250 to 350. It is probable that the latter number is 
more correct. In 1 791 the population was 1 , 1 70 ; in 1 800 it was 1 ,207. 

The first settlers were mostly from neighboring towns, and from Con- 
necticut. Several families, liowever, were from Plymouth and Barnstable 
counties, and several Dutch families from New York, were located on the 
Hoplands, and Glass Works Grant. Soon after the incorporation, a con- 
siderable accession to the population was made by families from Barnstable, 
Sandwich, Wareham, Falmouth and other Cape towns, where the sea-far- 
ing occupations of the people had been partly suppressed by the British 
during the War of the Revolution, forcing them to seek a subsistence else- 
where. 

The publishments and marriages, births, and deaths among these pio- 
neers, which are recorded on our town and church records, with also, the 
few in.scriptions in our early burial grounds are gathered into this volume. 

The vital records of the town clerks include all entries to the present 
centuiy, but as the birth records in this town were arranged by fam- 
ilies until 1S44, when tiie present uniform system of vital records went into 
effect in this state, in order to make this department of the records satis- 
factory, and of use to genealogists, each (jf these family records is given as 
completely as recorded — several extending into tlie third decade of the 
present century. 

The town clerks for the period over which the birth records in the vol- 
ume extend, were as below, witli tlie term of service of each: — 

Prince West wa.s chosen at the first town meeting and served to March 
IS, 17K2, but according to tlie first two publisliments recorded (seep. 1), 
he acted as such before he was chosen Dec. 2(), 1777; Thomas Beecher 
served from March IS, 17S2 to April 7, 17s:{; Natlian Dillingham from 
April 7, 17S;} to March 4, to 17!):?. and also from March 7, 1N14 to Marcli 4, 
1S1(5; Daniel Wilcox from March 4. 17i»:{ to March :{, lHO(i; Nathaniel 



Tliayor Ironi March :;, ISUdto March !), ISUT; Cornelius T. Fessendeu from 
March !), 1807 to March 7. 1814; Ransom Hinmaii from March 4, 1816 to 
March 8, 1824. 

The records prior to Jan. 24, 1791, were first entered in a make-shift 
book, from whicli they were transcribed into a more jjermanent volume by 
Mr. Jolni Powers, in accordance with a vote of the town Dec. 20, 1790. 
The orijjrinal has not been preserved. The copy appears to be the work of 
a man of slijrht education. It abounds in rare orthography and construc- 
tion, but is in a fairly legible hand. Mainly the records for that period 
pertain to town meeting transactions, elections for state and county 
officers, cattle marks, and road surveys;— the vital records received little 
consideration. 

The copied part of the records extend'^ over more than thirteen years 
from the town's incorporation, and the vital records entered during that 
time, were the publishments and marriaires on the first two and a half 
pages of tills volume, and the following birth records:— 

Jo.soph Freeman Austin, p. 12; 

Sarah, Abitrail and Rebecca Dillingham, p. 21; 

Children of Asahel Dodge, except Samuel p. 21; 

Percival record to Hannah, p. HH; 

Walker record, excepting deatii of Caleb, p. 88; 

Mary. Prudence, and John Brewster West, p. :59; 

Christian and Azuba NVood, p. 42. 

The dates of most of the above mentioned births, prove that they were 
originally recorded by Dillingham, and judging from the peculiar form of 
entry, it is probable the others were recorded by West. 

The only deatli noted is tliat of Huldah Walker, in the above 
mentioned Walker record. 

The list of marriages at the bottom of p. 3, was recorded by Nathan 
Dillingham, and a f(>w birth records are in his writing, also the record of 
Caleb Walker's deatli. Several of the publishments of the preceding clerk 
were rc-orded by Daniel Wilcox. It is supposed that the record of pub- 
lishmeiiTs and marriages by the latter is complete. Most of the birth 
records herein iiriiitcni are wholly or in part in his writing. 

Wilcox's records are not very plain. Evidently he drove a rapid, and 
careless quill. In his manuscript small e and i are generally indistinguish- 
able, and the .same character often stands for small a, o and u. Altogether 
his writing is very peculiar. Numerous woi-ds are not fully written out, 
— the most frequent fault in this respect being the omission of a letter or 
syllable from the end of words. The last peculiarity is nor often seen in 
his vital records, but cler for clerk api:;ears in the last intention on p. 5, 
and sevei-al times also on p]). 7, 8, 9. Some date-errors aLso appear; as for 
instance, he records that his brotlier Oziel was killed at Sheffield, March 27, 
1 787. Oziel was an adherent of Daniel Shays, and was killed in the skirni- 
isli wliicli rook i)laceb('r\veon tlie insurgents and state forces at Sheffield 



Feb. 27, J 787. Other errors of date have been noticed, and where cou.sider- 
able are noted. His record of tlie death of his brother Peter (p. 46), and of 
hissister Electa (p. 48), are circumstantial to an extent seldom attempted 
by town clerks. 

The records in Dillingham's own hand, and those by the other clerks, 
were more carefully written, and probably are more correct. 

For further information regarding the birth records, consult note on p. 
1 2. and regarding the record of deaths, consult note on p. 4^. 

There are doubtless some gaps in the continuity of the church records be- 
fore Dr. Hyde's pastorate, but the names of all members of the church 
are mentioned therein, which appear for that period in the first published 
list (supposed date 1818), except David Baker, and Stephen Tobey, received 
in 1 792. Whether all the baptisms are mentioned, cannot be determined. 

The records kept by Dr. Hyde contain a list of all baptisms, admissions to 
the church, marriages solemnized by him, and deaths in town from June 6, 
1 1\)2 to the time of his death in 1838. His records herein printed are limited 
to the close of the year 18U0. 

The matter from both the town and church records, has been carefully 
[iriuted from tlie original manuscripts — the spelling, abbreviations, and 
])unctuation being exactly given, and since it was i)rinted has been 
compared with the original, and all typographical errors, which have been 
discovered, have been corrected or are noted among the errata on p. 108. 

All the inscriptions antedating 1801 in the early bm'ial grounds are care- 
fully reproduced, and the nuirriages of some Lee people recorded in other 
towns, are given in the appendix; also several family records inadvertently 
omitted from the records of births, pp. 12-42. 

The reason the volume is limited to so short a period of the town's ex- 
istence is that it has been for the most part printed from forms for a larger 
book which contains all the extant records of the town officers. Congre- 
gational church, Hopland School District, etc., for the same period,— a few 
necessary changes of type having been made. 

It was thought a few coines containing only the matter herein given, 
might be of value for local use, and for genealogical libraries, and so it was 
proposed to print 150 coi)ies, but in ])rintiiig, several extra sheets were 
struck off — the whole being 158.

This may certify that the intention of marriage between John Remmele 
A: Hannah Barlow both of Lee [was] made public Feby IG, 1796 married 
by Revtl Alvau Hyde April lOth 1795 

t This intention is also in the Lenox Records (same dutti, and the niarrii-ge recorded 
as follows: "J801, Juny 1st Edward Hatch of Lee to Lucy Taylor of Lenox." 



Note^From the appearance of the Records, it would seem that the publishments and 
marriaKe< were not always promptly recorded, but were allowed to accumulate and 
■entered when convenient. Thus several of Nathan Dillingham's publishments were 
recorded by the succeeding clerk, Daniel Wilcox. The entries also, are not always 
Siven chronologically, and there a'-e several entered twice. The small number 
of entries between 1780 and 1790 can only be explained on the presumption that they 
art- not all g:vjn. 

The marriages of several Lee people have Lejn found on the records of other towns, 
and will bi- given in llie appi^ndix. 



(Kecorb0 of (§ivt^s. 



Note:— The following family birth records, which in the original are scattered over 
many pages without order, are arranged aliJhabetically for convenience of consulta- 
tion. All births recorded prior to January 1, IfcOl, are given, and every record com- 
menced, given ill full, excc-pt those of Ransom and Polly Hinman, and Reuben and 
Susanah Carey— no children being bi rn to them until after the above date. 

In some of these family records, all the births .seem to have bee i recorded at the same 
time; in others after one or more had been recorded, space was left, which in s me 
cases remains blank, but in some, more space, as the years passed was required, and 
the record was continued on another page.

The necrology of the oarly years of the town is very brief. The inscriptions on a 
few crumbling stones in the cemeteries, and the short list of deaths given in connection 
with the family birth records, contain it all until 1792, when Dr. Hyde commenced 
his admirable Church Records, included in which is a carefully recorded list of 
deaths which occurred in town during his pastorate. 

The death of Pelatiah West is given after the birth record of Elijah and Marah 
West's children, and the deaths of several of the Crocker family, after the birth record 
of Joseph and Polly Crocker's children; but except as connected with the records of 
births, there is no registry of a death on the Town Records until that of Molly Casey, 
May, 1795, and there is no other recorded until 1797. Scattered here and there on 
several of the pages allotted to the birth records, are entries of some of the deaths in 
town between 1797 and 18J4— the list of 17J9 being nearly complete. In 1804 a syste- 
matic record was commenced, and has been continuously kejit. These scattered 
entries, and also tho.se deaths noticed in the preceding Records of Births, are here 
arranged ohronologicallj'. The latter are designated by the page on which they are 
printed being placed after them : the others are printed as recorded. Some of the 
dates and ages given in this record, Dr. Hyde's, and in the inscriptions in t'ne ceme- 
teries do not correspond. These are noted if the discrepancy is considerable.

Docke West was chosen Moderator and Mr. Collins S ^ribe, the Counsel 
■was opened by prayer seeking to God for Counsel and direction in the 
important Matters to be laid before them. 

The Counsel then gave a full and candid hearing to a paper laid before 
them signed by 31 of the inhabitants of the town, containine: a request 
that the Counsel would not proceed to ordain Mr Parmele to the work of 
the Gospel Ministry in this place, [in] which also their reasons against it 
were stated. — After which the Counsel proceeded to a strick and 
caref ull Examination of the Candidate, and were unanimously agreed that 
he appeared to be a i^erson duely qualified for the important Office of the 
Gosp Ministry and after carefully deliberating the Objections which 
were made against Mr Parmeles being set apart to the pastoral Office 
amongst them the Council were of the Opinion that these Objections sen- 
tered in a Disapprobation of Mr Parmeles religious Sentiments, and that 
his Sentiments were in their Judjemeut strictly founded on scripture so 
that they judjed these objections to be groundless: the Counsel wer of 
opinion they ought to proceed to the Ordination of Mr Parmele and did 
accordingly set him apart by prayer and the true position of hands to the 
pastoral Office over the Church and people in this Town.

[It may reasonably be supposed that the above account of the ordination of Mr. 
Parmele was copied into the Recoris about 25 years after the event, for Alvan Hyde, 
Jr. was born in 1794, and the writing has the characteristics of that of a boy in his 
early teens.

In the olil grave-yard, now in the north-east corner of the cemetery near the 
•center of the town, there are 73 monuments with memorials to 84 persons who 
died before 1801. Mattey, daughter of Joseph and Lois Bendy (see p. 86,) is supposed 
to have been the first person buried there. Doubtless there were earlier 
■deaths among the settlers here, but no certain record of any has been found. In 
Holland's Hist, of Western Mass. (vol. 2, p. 516,) is the following: "The first death 
that occurred in Lee befell a child of John Winegar. The death occurred at Crow Hol- 
low, and the child was buried on the West side of the river." Probably the statement 
■was made on traditional authority. 

It is supposed one of the earliest graves is marked by a rough stone bearing only the 
rudelv carved letters SB. The name for which these letters stand has not been de- 
termined. The stone with the letters I V D, marks the grave of Isaac VanDeusen, 
8 y«ars old, a son of Matthew VanDeusen. 

Only two dated before 18U1 are in the South Lee cemetery; one at the grave of Isaac 
Davis, the first settler, the other at ths grave Abijah Stearns. 

A few early graves in each cemetery are marked with unimcribed, unhewn slabs of 
stone. There are, also, several early graves marked in the same manner near the 
residence of C. E. Morley, Caoe St., where, according to tradition, some of the settlers 
in that section named G-ifford and Roberts were buried. 

If any of the early inhabitants were buried elsewhere in town, all knowledge of 
their graves is lost. 

Owing to weathering, probably some of the punctuation hns been effaced from some 
of the stones. 

The interlined letters and words in the inscriptions here given, are shown as well as 
possible with ordinary type. On the stones they are close to the lines to which they 
^elc

ERRATA AND OMISSIONS. 



Page 1. In second publishment, for "Ichabod," read "Ichobud." 

Page 10. In second intention from bottom, for "Polly Ball," read "Patty 

Ball." 
Page 37. Record regarding Rebecca Hatch doubtless incorrect: — "Re- 
becca, wife of Mr Oliver Hatch died May 1st 1788". See p. 87. 
Dates after Polly and Ira Hill, printed as recorded. 
In a copy of the 1st vol. of town records, made by Franklin G. Taylor in 1858, is the 
birth record of Benjamin Hinckley's children with the three dates wanting which are wsntii 
in the original 1st vol. These dates are not in the writing of the copyist, but in 
that of a town clerk later than 1858. 
The record of the copy is: — 

Children of Benjamin Hinckley & Puella Goodspeed his wife 
Electa Hiukley Born Jan 10. 1787 ["Hinkiey," in record.] 
Thomas Goodspeed Born Feb 5, 1789. 
Warren Hinckley Born April 34. 1795. 
Charles Hinckley Oct. 22, 1800. 

Luther Thatcher Hinckley May 2d, 1809. 
Page 30. "Lemi ", son of Calvin Ingersoll, indistinct,— may be Lemi. 

See p. 94 for births of three last of David Ingersoll's children. 
Page 50. Mrs. Jesse Bradley's name incorrectly recorded, — should be 
Mamry or Mamre (see p. 87). 
For "Ruhannah Ball", read "Ruhamah Ball". 
Page 51. For "choose" in second line, read "chose." 

Page 59. In fourth line,— "letters missive from the Church in that place", 
etc., should be, — "letters missive from the church of Christ in 
that place", etc. 
Page 63. In baptisms, July 8, for "Elisha son of Lydia Ingersol,"etc., read 
"Elihu, sou of Lydia Ingersol," etc. 
In baptisms, Sep. 33, Mrs. Jonathan Foot's name is incorrect 
in record: — see pp. 34, 87. 

N. B. An error was made in ascribing the firat part of the first book of church 
records to Wm. Ingersoll (see pp. 53, .55). A more careful scrutiny of the manuscript 
shows that it is not in his writing, though closely resembling it.The writer is unknown. 

The writing stated in ihe second note p. 55, as supposed to be Deacon Oliver West s 
has been positively identified as his.
